Environmental protection aims to protect the natural environment for both environmental and human benefit. Environmental issues refer to harmful human impacts on the environment. Key issues include climate change caused by greenhouse gas levels exceeding 400 ppm, as well as rising temperatures, extreme weather, and their effects such as increasing humanitarian needs. By 2050, the growing human population of 9.6 billion will further stress the environment through impacts like higher temperatures driven primarily by human activities over the past 50 years. Addressing environmental degradation requires advocacy, education, and activism on individual, organizational and governmental levels.
2. CONSERVATION
Environmental protection is a
practice of protecting the
natural environment on
individual, organization
controlled on governmental
levels, for the benefit of both
the environment and humans.

4. ACTION
“Environmental Action” means any action, suit,
demand, demand letter, claim, notice of non-
compliance or violation, notice of liability or
potential liability, investigation, proceeding,
consent order or consent agreement relating in
any way to any Environmental Law,
Environmental Permit or Hazardous Materials or
arising from alleged injury or threat of injury to
health, safety or the environment, including,
without limitation.
5. (a) by any governmental or
regulatory authority for
enforcement, cleanup, removal,
response, remedial or other
actions or damages and
6. (b) by any governmental or
regulatory authority or any third
party for damages, contribution,
indemnification, cost recovery,
compensation or injunctive relief.

benefits, people mostly over

12. Environmental issues are harmful effects of human
activity on the biophysical
environment. Environmental protection is a practice
of protecting the natural environment on individual,
organizational or governmental levels, for the
benefit of both the environment and
humans. Environmentalism,
a social and environmental movement, addresses
environmental issues through advocacy, education
and activism.[1]
The carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse
gases (GHG) in the atmosphere has already
exceeded 400 parts per million (NOAA) (with total
"long-term" GHG exceeding 455 parts per million)
13. "The amount of greenhouse gas in the
atmosphere is already above the threshold
that can potentially cause dangerous
climate change. We are already at risk of
many areas of pollution...It's not next year or
next decade, it's now." The UN Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian
Affairs (OCHA) has stated "Climate change
is not just a distant future threat. It is the
main driver behind rising humanitarian
needs and we are seeing its impact. The
number of people affected and the damages
14. FURTHER, OCHA HAS STATED:
Climate disasters are on the rise. Around 70
percent of disasters are now climate related
– up from around 50 percent from two
decades ago.
These disasters take a heavier human toll
and come with a higher price tag. In the last
decade, 2.4 billion people were affected by
climate related disasters, compared to 1.7
billion in the previous decade. The cost of
responding to disasters has risen tenfold
between 1992 and 2008.

16. Environment destruction caused by humans
is a global problem, and this is a problem
that is on going every day. By year 2050,
the global human population is expected to
grow by 2 billion people, thereby reaching a
level of 9.6 billion people (Living Blue Planet
24).[4] The human effects on Earth can be
seen in many different ways. A main one is
the temperature rise, and according to the
report ”Our Changing Climate”, the global
warming that has been going on for the past
50 years is primarily due to human activities
(Walsh, et al. 20). Since 1895, the U.S.
average temperature has increased from

since around year 1970 (Walsh, et al.
